Ceramics Research Group

The Ceramics Research Group is directed by Marilyn
Beaudry-Corbett ,
Research Associate and Archaeology Program alumna. The group acts an
information center on ceramics and ceramic analysis, offering practical
experience to students and researchers, and maintaining a dialogue among a
large community of ceramic specialists at UCLA and in its surrounding areas.
The group holds at least one event per academic quarter attended by Cotsen
Institute affiliates and interested parties from other colleges and
universities. One such event is the Dockweiler Beach Pit Firing at which
attendees are invited to bring ceramics to fire at the beach.

The group also maintains several type collections as well as a library of
books, sets of slides, and videos purchased with funds from the biennially
offered ceramic analysis class.
